Lions Code of Ethics:

TO SHOW my faith in the worthiness of my vocation by industrious
application to the end that I may merit a reputation for quality of service.

TO SEEK success and to demand all fair
remuneration or profit as my just due, but to accept no profit or success at
the price of my own self respect lost because of unfair advantage taken or
because of questionable acts on my part.

TO
REMEMBERthat in
building up my business it is not necessary to tear down another's; to be loyal
to my clients or customers and true to myself.

WHENEVERa doubt arises as to the right or
ethics of my position or action towards others, to resolve such doubt against
myself.

TO
HOLD friendship as
an end and not a means. To hold that true friendship exists not on account of
the service performed by one to another, but that true friendship demands
nothing but accepts service in the spirit in which ills given.

ALWAYS to bear in mind my obligations as a citizen to my nation, my state and my
community, and to give them my unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To
give them freely of my time, labor, and means.

TO AID
others by giving my sympathy to those in distress, my aid to the weak, and my
substance to the needy.

TO BE CAREFULwith
my criticism and liberal with my praise; to build up and not destroy.
